Tangles and plaques in nondemented aging and “preclinical” Alzheimer's disease
Joseph L. Price,John C. Morris +1 more
TL;DR: There was a substantial increase over other nondemented cases, both in the number of tangles and in the rate of increase in tangles with age, suggesting an interaction between amyloid and neurofibrillary change at this stage of Alzheimer's disease.
Journal ArticleDOI
Introduction to the recommendations from the National Institute on Aging-Alzheimer's Association workgroups on diagnostic guidelines for Alzheimer's disease
Clifford R. Jack,Marilyn S. Albert,David S. Knopman,Guy M. McKhann,Reisa A. Sperling,Maria C. Carrillo,Bill Thies,Creighton H. Phelps +7 more
TL;DR: A broad consensus now exists that these criteria for the clinical diagnosis of Alzheimer's disease should be revised to incorporate state‐of‐the‐art scientific knowledge.

TL;DR: Evidence from many independent research centers strongly supports the existence of a specific disease, as defined by the presence of A&bgr; plaques and neurofibrillary tangles.
Journal ArticleDOI
Editorial on Consensus Recommendations for the Postmortem Diagnosis of Alzheimer Disease from the National Institute on Aging and the Reagan Institute Working Group on Diagnostic Criteria for the Neuropathological Assessment of Alzheimer Disease
TL;DR: The consensus recommendations for improving the neuropathological criteria for the postmortem diagnosis of Alzheimer's disease are reported here, and the "position papers" by members of the Working Group that accompany this report elaborate on the research findings and concepts upon which these recommendations were based.
Journal ArticleDOI
The clinical use of structural MRI in Alzheimer disease
TL;DR: The utility of structural imaging and other markers will be increased by standardization of acquisition and analysis methods, and by development of robust algorithms for automated assessment, as well as by research into other imaging and nonimaging markers.

TL;DR: The criteria proposed are intended to serve as a guide for the diagnosis of probable, possible, and definite Alzheimer's disease; these criteria will be revised as more definitive information becomes available.

Diagnosis of Alzheimer's Disease
TL;DR: The purpose of the meeting was to identify the most important scientific research opportunities and the crucial clinical and technical issues that influence the progress of research on the diagnosis of AD.
Journal ArticleDOI
Alzheimer's disease: cell-specific pathology isolates the hippocampal formation.
TL;DR: Examination of temporal lobe structures from Alzheimer patients reveals a specific cellular pattern of pathology of the subiculum of the hippocampal formation and layers II and IV of the entorhinal cortex that isolates the hippocampus from much of its input and output and probably contributes to the memory disorder in Alzheimer patients.
Journal ArticleDOI
Anatomical correlates of the distribution of the pathological changes in the neocortex in Alzheimer disease
TL;DR: Data on the severity of the pathological involvement in different areas of the neocortex and the laminar distribution and the clustering of the tangles support the suggestion that the pathological changes in Alzheimer disease affect regions that are interconnected by well-defined groups of connections and that the disease process may extend along the connecting fibers.

TL;DR: The temporal lobe cortex and hippocampus were the areas most severely affected by the increased neurofibrillary tangle formation in senile dementia due to Alzheimer's disease.
